Eagles fans loudly cheered each Eagles position group as they ran out onto the field, and loudly mocked the Vikings' "Skol" chant in the NFC North champion's home stadium by chanting "Foles" and clapping hands above their head as Foles and the quarterbacks came out of the tunnel.

Maybe it's Super Bowl fatigue for the five-time champion New England Patriots and their fans, or the fact that Eagles fans travel better than most fan bases across the league, but the green legion has made its presence felt at U.S. Bank Stadium for Super Bowl LII.

This season, Eagles fans have managed to turn a pair of games in Los Angeles against the Rams and Chargers into de-facto home games on the West Coast.

Whether it was nearly getting kicked out of the Mall of America this week for loudly chanting "E-A-G-L-E-S, EAGLES" or arriving four hours prior to kickoff, Eagles fans significantly outnumbered their counterparts from up north.

Typically a corporate sanitized event with a majority of tickets allocated to sponsors and partners of the NFL, the initial feel on Super Bowl Sunday is that Eagles fans have a chance to break that mold.
